About chimney repairs & repointing
The chimney stack takes more weather than any other part of a house. On older properties, it's usually the first thing to fail: frost-shattered bricks, crumbling mortar joints, cracked flaunching around the pots, and leaks where the lead flashing meets the roof. Chimney specialists in our network handle repointing in the correct mortar mix, which matters most on older brick. They also carry out partial and full rebuilds, capping and cowls for disused flues, and flaunching repairs. Since most chimney leaks actually start at the lead, they renew the aprons, soakers and back gutters as standard, not as an afterthought.
How we help
Find Trusted Roofers is a national network that connects UK homeowners with local roofers. Since we are not a roofing contractor, we don't do the work ourselves. Instead, you tell us about your chimney repairs job once. We then match you with a roofer in our network who covers your postcode and works on your roof type. Every roofer quotes from their own survey, and you deal directly with them and choose whether to proceed.
We check the roofers in our network against Companies House, and confirm public liability insurance. We also note any TrustMark, NFRC or CompetentRoofer membership. We verify what we can, although we don't guarantee the work itself. The work is always contracted directly between you and the roofer.
